Regional Workforce Development Strategy

Partnering fora Regional Response

One of the key determinants of Acadiana's economic competitiveness and long-term success is the quality and skill of our workforce. Like other regions, Acadiana faces a skills gap in key industry sectors, with a lack of qualified candidates for a number of high-wage, high-demand jobs. At the same time, due to the recent downturn in the oil & gas market, Acadiana is also home to a large number of unemployed and underemployed workers.

This initiative brought together key partners, all determined to create solutions for our displaced oil & gas workers. Acadiana has proven to be one of the most successful regions at working together toward shared goals, and I look forward to being a part of future collaborations.
